After Julaine’s comments, Jim provided listeners with details regarding news items from around the world. Here are selected highlights:

Mike Hammond is the Legislative Counsel for Gunowners of America.
We live in a time when every man is doing that which is right in his own eyes and lawlessness abounds. We see major metropolitan cities collapsing due to their lack of enforcing the law. Retail stores are leaving these areas in droves. It’s going to get worse. To many, the rule of law means nothing in this current day. What about the Constitution? Well, it changes to whatever we want it to say.

Most of us attend church each week with no threat of reprisal. This is not the case in other parts of the world. In recent weeks, Muslim mobs in Pakistan have attacked churches and Christian homes were set on fire. Thousands of Christian families were forced to evacuate including the guest on this Crosstalk.

There’s another globalist effort afoot that this time is attempting to lure cities from across the nation and around the world. It involves tenets of Agenda 2030. It’s coming from a group known as C40, a self described global network of nearly 100 mayors from the world’s leading cities that are united in action to confront the climate crisis.

22 years ago today, Islamic terrorists struck America, claiming the lives of 2,977 individuals. It was the deadliest attack on U.S. soil.

The Qur’an declares that Jews and Christians are infidels. Followers of Islam are told to perform jihad against the infidels and hypocrites and to be harsh with them and that their abode will be in hell.

The news cycle is constantly evolving and Crosstalk is on top of it. Here’s a selection of stories from this broadcast:
–South Dakota farmers are celebrating a major victory. Their state’s public utilities commission voted unanimously on Wednesday to reject a controversial carbon capture pipeline proposal.
–After hurricane Idalia slammed into Florida last week, reports of electric vehicles catching fire after coming into contact with flood waters began to merge. At least 2 Tesla vehicles ignited after being contaminated by salt water from storm surge according to ABC’s Tampa Bay affiliate.

Throughout history there are examples of oppression against mankind. In each of these situations there are those who didn’t want to create waves. Yet others stood for their cause and impacted the lives of many for the better. One example would be the Revolutionary War and those who plead their lives, fortunes and sacred honor.
